Theapparatus 600 may include a pen-shaped hand-held device that may beconfigured to facilitate dispensing of eyelashes (lash extensions) overthe eye of a user. Accordingly, the apparatus 600 may include a mainbody 602 of the hand-held device. The main body 602 may be pen-shaped,such as in the shape of a hollow cylinder, or a cuboid. Further, themain body 602 may include a separation, which may be used to separate anadhesive storage and delivery mechanism, and a storage and deliverymechanism corresponding to the multiple strands of eyelashes.

Further, the storage and delivery mechanism corresponding to themultiple strands of eyelashes may aid in the storage and dispensing ofthe multiple strands of eyelashes over the eye of a user. The eyelashesmay be made up of human hair, synthetic hair, nylon, fibers, threads, orother appropriate material. Further, the storage and delivery mechanismcorresponding to the multiple strands of eyelashes include a spool 604,over which multiple strands of eyelashes may be rolled. Further, aconveyor 606 may be connected to the spool 604, which may facilitate themovement of the strands of eyelashes from the spool 604 to a rotarymember 610. The conveyor 606 may be a continuous strip of supportingmaterial, such as a continuous a tape of medical-grade material, fabric,or even plastic. Additionally, a first rotor 608 may be connected to thespool 604, which may power the rotary movement of the spool 604 and themovement of the conveyor 606. The rotary member 610 may be a dispensingmedium that may receive strands of eyelashes and may deposit the strandsof eyelashes over an eye of a user. Accordingly, the conveyor 606, aspowered by the first rotor 608, may transport strands of eyelashes fromthe spool 604 to the rotary member 610 via the conveyor 606. Further,the rotary member 610 may include an inner edge 612 and an outer edge614. The inner edge 612 of the rotary member 610 may be oriented towardsthe inside of the apparatus 600 and may receive the strands ofeyelashes. Oppositely, the outer edge 614 of the rotary member 610 mayprotrude outside the main body 602 of the apparatus 600 and may beoriented away from the main body 602. The outer edge 614 of the rotarymember 610 may be configured to gently meet the eyelid of a user,somewhat akin to a ball of a ballpoint pen, and deposit the strands ofeyelashes over the eye of a user. The strands of eyelashes transportedfrom the spool 604 may be moved to the inner edge 612, wherein thestrands of eyelashes may connect to the rotary member 610. For instance,the strands of eyelashes may connect to the rotary member 610 through astatic force. Further, a second rotor 616 may be connected to the rotarymember 610 that may rotate the rotary member 610. Accordingly, due tothe movement of the rotary member 610, the strands of eyelashes may becarried to the outer edge 614 of the rotary member 610, whereupon thestrands of eyelashes may be applied over the eye of the user. Further,the strands of eyelashes may not be crushed by the movement of the spool604, conveyor 606, or during the movement from the inner edge 612 of therotary member 610 to the outer edge 614. Further, a design, and curveassociated with the eyelashes may also be maintained during the movementof the spool 604, conveyor 606, or during the movement from the inneredge 612 of the rotary member 610 to the outer edge 614.

Further, the adhesive storage and delivery mechanism may be used toapply the eyelashes over the eye of a user. The adhesive may be storedin an adhesive cartridge or an adhesive cylinder 618. Further, anadhesive dispenser 620, such as a miniature pump may pump the adhesivecontained in the cartridge to the rotary member 610 via a connectingpathway, such as a thin tube. Accordingly, the adhesive may be appliedon strands of eyelashes when the strands of eyelashes are moved to theinner edge 612 of the rotary member 610. Further, the adhesive may offera stronger connection than a force or mechanism that may be used to holdthe strands of eyelashes on inside the rotary member 610, which mayallow the strands of eyelashes to be affixed over the eye of a user.

Further, in an embodiment, multiple strands of eyelashes may betransported from the spool 604 to the rotary member 610 and may bedeposited together over the eye of a user. Accordingly, the conveyor 606may carry multiple strands of eyelashes from the spool 604 to the rotarymember 610. Further, the rotary member 610 may be formed so as toreceive the multiple strands of eyelashes from the conveyor 606, anddeposit the multiple strands of eyelashes over the eye of a user throughmultiple depository openings in the outer edge 614.

Further, the apparatus 600 may include a motion sensor configured todetect a rate of movement of apparatus 600 in relation to an eyelid of auser. Accordingly, based on a detected rate of movement, multipleactuators may control each of the adhesive dispenser 620, and thestorage and dispensing mechanism corresponding to the multiple strandsof eyelashes, including the first root 608, the spool 604, the conveyor606, and the second rotor 616 to ensure a uniform deposition affixing ofeyelashes over the eye of a user. For instance, the adhesive dispenser620, and the storage and dispensing mechanism corresponding to themultiple strands of eyelashes may be controlled so as to deposit one ormore strands of eyelashes at a pre-defined distance. Further, in anembodiment, the distance at which a user may wish to deposit one or morestrands of eyelashes may be configurable. Accordingly, the user maycontrol the distance to be able to attain one or more desired eyelashstyles.

Further, in an instance, the number of strands in the spool 604 maydiffer. The number of strands in the spool 604 may differ to providedifferent style options. For instance, the number of strands in a spool604 may be less to offer a “classic” style (where one fake eyelash maybe coupled to one natural eyelash) or more to offer a “volume” style(where multiple eyelashes may be coupled to one natural eyelash).Further, based on a style of eyelashes in a spool 604, the diameter ofeach strand of eyelashes in a spool 604 may differ. For instance, thediameter of eyelashes in a spool 604 that may offer a “classic” stylemay be more than the diameter of eyelashes in a spool 604 that may offera “volume” style. Further, the number of eyelashes may vary more tooffer hybrid styles, which may combine the features of “classic” and“volume” styles.

Further, the spool 604 of eyelashes may be replaceable. The spool 604 ofeyelashes may be removed by opening the main body 602 and may be removedand replaced with another spool 604 of eyelashes. The spool 604 ofeyelashes may be replaced and exchanged so as to refill the apparatus600 once an existing spool 604 of eyelashes has been consumed. Further,an existing spool 604 of eyelashes may be replaced and exchanged with anew spool 604 of eyelashes that may contain eyelashes corresponding todifferent eyelash styles.

Further, the amount of adhesive dispensed over one or more stands ofeyelashes may be fixed for a particular spool 604 of eyelashes. Further,the amount of adhesive dispensed may vary based on a change of spool 604of eyelashes. For instance, the amount of adhesive dispensed may bedifferent based on the type of strands of eyelashes. For instance, theamount of adhesive dispensed may be different for each of strands ofeyelashes made up of human hair, synthetic hair, nylon, fibers, threads,and so on. Further, the amount of adhesive dispensed may vary based on athickness of strands of eyelashes. For instance, thicker strands ofeyelashes may require a higher amount of adhesive to be dispensed thanthinner strands of eyelashes. Further, the amount of adhesive to bedispensed may depend on a number of strands of eyelashes in a spool 604.For instance, a greater number of strands of eyelashes may require ahigher amount of adhesive to be dispensed to be able to be appliedproperly over the eye of a user.

Further, the apparatus 600 may include a motion sensor configured todetect a rate of movement of apparatus 600 in relation to an eyelid of auser. Accordingly, based on a detected rate of movement, multipleactuators may control the coloring mechanism corresponding to thecolored dyes so as to ensure a uniform deposition of colored dyes overthe eyelashes.
